Level 3 Photography
Course Description
Level Three Visual Art Photography
This is a practical course where students learn to extend their use of a digital camera to visually investigate the world around them. Experience at Level Two Photography is essential as we continue to build students' knowledge and skills to create sophisticated, conceptual work at this level. Working with individually chosen themes, students will concentrate on refining the use of studio lighting and compositional elements to develop their ideas visually. Digital applications such as Adobe Photoshop are also used to enhance image quality or to manipulate images in a variety of ways.
Students need to have completed Level Two Photography for entry into this course. In exceptional circumstances a student may gain entry into the course without Level Two Photography, but this is assessed on an individual basis and requires an interview and the approval of the Head of Department.
